Loughlin Vineyard — Attraction in Town of Islip

This is a hidden gem! If you’ve never been it could be a little tricky to find - careful with parking too as it’s tight & limited. The property is so pretty. These pictures are from an unseasonably warm day in November. On small business Saturday, the gracious owner gave free tasting flights as a thank you for coming in & supporting her business.

We brought our own food but they do have meat and cheese for sale. Will definitely bring a cooler with some fruits and other snacks next time. Definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a relaxed...
